Don't you think that it's quite funny how the two island nations in both ends of Eurasia, Great Britain and Japan, have so many funny coincidences with each other?
>Both are island nations >Both are constitutional monarchies >Both have been influenced by a historically stronger power from mainland (China and France) >In their regions, both countries were able to begin industrial revolution before their neighbours >They were the mightiest superpowers of their respective regions in the first half of 20th Century >Both countries have a religion which has the country's ruler worshipped as a god / representative of the God
>Both countries have a religion which has the country's ruler worshipped as a god / representative of the God Do you unironically see your queen as a goddess?

Queen Elizabeth is the defender of faith. That's one of her titles.

germany and japan have more similarities than britain and japan
It's more than an accident. When the Americans forced Japan to open up, the Japs chose to emulate Britain in all things. In politics, military (esp. the navy) and industrialization. Britain at the time was the most powerful and richest nation on earth.

>in all things
No. They emulated Frogs and Prussians too.

Japan took from every relevant European nation, really. They took constitutional monarchy from Britain, the French Civil code and the Prussian army model.
Not really, they did take a lot fo things from the Prussians/Germans even though they barely had a history of contact with them (compared to the Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, British and Russians for example) and by the 1870's the United Kingdom wasn't all that ahead of other Western European countries, Sweden, Canada, Norway and Denmark had a higher life expectancy than the UK for example.
